Yeah and the joke is that most pay-per-download (ppd? why not.) most ppd outfits are talking about $10.00-15.00/month subscription fees allowing maybe 50 downloads. That's 50 cents a tune or around $7.50 a CD. No incentive not get it free with that price.
I've heard of people who've gotten 10,000 songs in 6 months (stop smirking, we know who you are). At those prices that's FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! A lot of cabbage for some grainy MP3s burned to your own CDs. You see it's the record company. They won't allow cheap prices because they have to get paid. But they no longer do anything. They don't manufacture or distribute. So by paying them a fee they don't earn (a mob tax) the price will never get low enough to eliminate file sharing (how's that for irony?). Most artists by the way get 2.5 cents per song from their label. At those prices maybe but we ain't never gone see those prices as long as Clive 'n' Tommy's around.
No, ain't nothin' gonna stop this river ceptin' the gubment. An even they gone have their hands full.
